Gar, the curses of over-qualification! 95% Experienced Job seem interested, but they told the rec con that they fear I am TOO experienced (!!!!!!) and would get bored. I told her in all honesty, I just had a baby - I am not looking for a career, I just want to pay the rent! Hopefully they like that answer. It's true - I only want a job that's going to pay the bills and stimulating enough that I don't want to stab things. Quite a low threshold. Sorry, just ranting.

Just sorted our car insurance - why do I always feel so poor after doing it? Insane renewal price went UP £200 (for no reason?) so I just swapped over to another company that are offering about £50 less than what we pay now - numpties.

3, if you got pregnant with triplets, your username could still be valid. :eek:

Aww JM that's a bit rubbish! How do they do the lunches?
L's school go in in year group order, and every week a different year group goes first etc. I know L moans when it's her groups turn to go last or second to last because there is hardly any choice left.
But your's sounds like they get dinner, then go up for pudding when they've finished?!? That means the greedy little beggars who shovel their dinner in will always get the cake, when they're probably the ones who should be having fruit! :rotfl:

Aless Don't say such scarey things!!

Ooooooooooooh, Husband just looked at the kitchen widget I've been slaving away to get Amazon points for - and apparently it's the wrong one! So he's put in an order for one on a different website and I have £40 of Amazon vouchers sitting in my account!!

I am a lovely wife, so have used most of it to get his Valentine's Day gift as planned, but any more vouchers I make are all for meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!! AND I still have £2 and change from the £40 I had so can afford to buy myself a book too :j

What shall I'll buy myself with my riches?!

He's in reception and they go in the hall first before any other year, so its not too busy for them, but yep the ones that shovel it on get first pick lol, im really annoyed about it because looking on the menu, fruit is actually an extra, ie not a desert so they're just not making enough, but im paying for it so i expect him to get it, they get a fruit snack through the day too, yesterday menu said pork steaks and mash, with marble cake as the desert, no mention of fruit there.. and the kids that finish first seem to be the ones that used to have dinner in nursery so they're obviously more used to it than jake and the other 14 poor kids that dont get cake lol!! i heard a few other mums speaking about it this morning so hopefully they'll do something about it.

Food shopping is my favourite kind of shopping though. The first day off work I had after I got a "proper" job I spent over three hours going round Tesco.

MFD Your last day! or ? Will you have some dust in your eye later?

They have treated me so shabbily that I just want to move on TBH. Although I am not really moving on from the job...just the office and our dreams of world domination (our tender).


Hubby has just called. His business has been in trouble for some time now - the current state of the economy has meant that contractors are holding onto payments for a little bit longer so he is having to spend a lot of time chasing late money (which he is not very good at TBH). Anyway, yesterday he sent an email to his biggest client saying that things were not good and he was thinking of winding the company up. They asked him to go in and see them at 8am today.

He has just come out and they have decided to set up a new division of their bigger company specialising in hubby's field and they were going to approach hubby to run it :j:j

It couldn't be better timing - if it all comes off it will be a bl00dy miracle but I would love to see him with the weight of the company lifted off his shoulders.

Also - he hasn't brought in a regular wage since we have been together - if he starts a job with a salary we will be rolling it it :rotfl::rotfl: I might have to give up MSE and go and find a forum called MoneyWasters R US or something :rotfl::rotfl:
